Boilermaker (Structural Steel Fabrication)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy petrochemical shutdown contractor in Bellville. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Bellville, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Keep a hot work permit open and a fire watch in place during shutdowns
• TIG weld stainless steel tanks and fittings with proper back-purging
• Prepare joints for radiographic and dye penetrant testing
• Set up MIG and flux-cored machines for long production runs
• Roll and form plate for tanks, chutes and hoppers

• Valid welder coding to ISO 9606-1 or ASME IX in the processes the job needs
• You can read fabrication and isometric drawings without help
• Willing to work shutdowns, long shifts and weekends when the plant is down
• Boilermaker or welder trade test certificate, or current SAIW welder qualification
• At least 2 years of production or site welding after qualifying

• Coding renewals paid by the employer
• Accommodation and meals paid on out-of-town shutdowns
• Leather welding PPE and auto-darkening helmet supplied

• List each coding separately with the standard, process, position and expiry date. "Coded welder" on its own tells a recruiter nothing.
• Expect a practical welding test on the first day. Bring your own gloves and chipping hammer so you feel at home.
